from general Pulaski 

By the afternoon of October 15, 1779, Captain Bulfinch had no room to take any more passengers. When another wounded officer, Lt. Cornelius Van Vlieland, who had lost an arm in the siege of Savannah, asked him for passage to Charleston, Bulfinch arranged to send him on another ship. In the sequence of events, it looked as if the visit of Lt. Van Vlieland came before the death of Pulaski, as Pulaski's death certainly created a vacancy aboard. Had the young lieutenant waited, Bulfinch would have had space for him. 

The day I found Bulfinch's letter to him from Thunderbolt, or "Tunder Bolt" as he spelled it, was especially important. On October 15, 1779, Bulfinch wrote: 

Sir, I beg leave to acquaint you that agreeable to your orders I took on board nine pieces of the artillery which was the most I possibly could take on. Mo'over, I even was obliged to put some of the carriages on board the Schooner that carry the French wounded. I likewise took on board the Americans that was sent down one of which died this day and I have brought him ashore and buried him. They have put only one lad on board to attend the sick. I should be glad your Excellency would order some others on Board to attend them. Capt. Vlyland (sic) came down this afternoon. There was no place to put him. The Eagle whom he was to have gone on board, went away this morning and left him. I made interest with the French Gentleman who has the directions of putting the wounded on board the other schooners for Charleston and got him on board one of them. I am with the highest esteem, Sir, your most Re Obdt Sevt Sam Bulfinch 5 Immediately after the Wasp left Thunderbolt Bluff at high tide the following morning, quite possibly the only remaining people who knew where Pulaski's body was buried were the denizens of Greenwich plantation, across the road from Bonaventure, home to Mrs. Jane Bowen, her four children, her brother, and their servants. At the time Bonaventure was not occupied by the plantation owners. During the British occupation of Savannah, the Tattnalls and the Mulrynes, who owned the plantation, fled to Savannah or one of the British islands in the Atlantic for safety

entered 1777

7/17/1779, a 2nd Lieutenant under Capt. Richard Bohun Baker. Transferred to Capt. Thomas Dunbar in August of 1779. Mortally wounded at Siege of Savannah 10/9/1779.

The foregoing were all of the Continental or Regular regiments which served 
during the struggle for independence. 

But there were other organizations of Militia which did much good service and aided our cause very considerably. The most celebrated of these was Marion's corps from South Carolina. 

When this body was first formed, Francis Marion received from the State of South Carolina the commission of 

Lieutenant-Colonel 
and subsequently became a Brigadier-General. 

The other field officer was Major Horry, 
and both of them have been rendered celebrated by the pen of Weems. 

This organization would in these days be considered as "mounted infantry," and in the unsuccessful attempt 
to storm Savannah, Ga., in the Autumn of 1779, it suffered very much. 

Captain Charles Motte, Lieutenants Alexander Hume, James Grey and Cornelius Van Vlieland were 
killed, as was the brave Sergeant William Jasper who fell while attempting to plant the 
American colors on the parapet of Spring Hill redoubt.

Many of the men were killed and wounded in this sanguinary affair. Here too fell Count Casimir Pulaski, 

of Poland Brigadier-General of cavalry in the American service. 
After this action Marion retreated to the interior, whence he was able to harass the British for a long time. 

The movements and actions of these troops were of a most romantic character, and the 

name of their leader is one of the most highly honored in our Nation. 

It was perhaps because of the Siege's reputation as a famous British victory that Charles Dickens chose the Siege of Savannah as the place for Joe Willet to be wounded (losing his arm) in the novel Barnaby Rudge.

Family tree leads to discovery of possible royal link

First published Wednesday 21 January 2015 in News


Delving into the past can reveal some unwanted skeletons in the cupboard – murdering ancestors, illegitimate relatives or those deported to the Antipodes to name but a few.


But a spot of genealogy has revealed that the members of a Worcester family are very happy to shout about a number of their ancestors. They discovered they may be connected to blue blood and several upstanding members of 19th and 20th century London society.


Alan Blomfield, his wife Elaine and their 14-year-old daughter Megan, from Greathouse Road, Worcester, were delighted to discover they could be connected to the 15th century English king Richard III.

The king, the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty, was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 and his body was buried without ceremony in Greyfriars Church, Leicester. His remains were found in August 2012 under a modern city centre car park on the site of the old church in Leicester.

Alan’s aunt Ann Lockwood, who lives in Suffolk, was doing some research into the family tree and piecing together various bits of information which traced the family back to Richard de Blonville of Normandy in 1086.
Elaine explained: “The family name varies in spelling from Blomfield to De Blunville, De Blumville and Bloomfield.
“Ann said an entry for one of our ancestors – Randolph Blonville of Gunton (1475 – 1514) – shows his wife as Constance Gurney, who, it states, was descended from Richard III.
“I was a bit shocked when I heard we could be connected to Richard III. My daughter Megan is really excited at the thought of being from a royal line. She goes to Blessed Edward Oldcorne school and is telling all her friends about the possibility of the connection.”
Ann wasn’t able to verify if the information was correct but both Blonville and Gurney families seem to have descended from Norman nobility, who came to England with William the Conqueror and it is feasible they moved in royal and aristocratic circles, added Elaine.
Other notable members of the Blomfield’s family include Thomas Blundville (1522-1606) who was a famous Elizabethan scholar, Charles James Blomfield, who was the Bishop of London from 1828-1856, Victorian architect Sir Arthur Blomfield who designed the Royal College of Music and the Law Courts situated in Fleet Street, London.

Sir Reginald Theodore Blomfield was another Victorian architect who designed country houses and a number of war memorials including the Menin Gate at Ypres.

Elaine said: “Also on the tree is Lady Sara Louisa Blomfield who was a London society hostess and Humanitarian activist in Edwardian times. She helped to found the Save the Children Fund, which has the Princess Royal as its president now.

“Her daughters were both Suffragettes and caused a scandal by staging a protest in front of the King at Buckingham Palace.”

“In most recent times my husband's great uncle owned a gold mine in Africa and guarded it with a pet tiger and his grandfather Bertram John Blomfield received a commendation for rescuing four people from the River Thames in 1917.

“I love anything to do with our family history and it would be nice to know if there is anyone else around who has any connection to the Blomfield family.

Lord Gisborough paid tribute to the great work there of Miss Bervon, and said that they had been exceptionally fortunate in getting Miss Capstick as her successor (loud applause).

MERRY GO ROUND. " The Merry-go-Round" is a children's magazine, which commands the respect grown-ups and the interest of children. Animals of various kinds monopolise a large share of the July number. There is " Flurry and Chirrup," by Mabel Marlowe, a story of Squirrels, which has illustrations by Harry Rowntree. Baptista by the editor, Hugh Chesterman, tells of a monkey, and there is yet another animal contribution, " Pets I Have Kept—The White Rat." There is helpful article photography for beginners, and another on how to construct that most fascinating of amusements, toy theatre.

Western Times - Friday 10 May 1946DRAMA FESTIVAL Short Play Winners At Torquay Torquay Drama Festival ended on Monday, when four short plays were performed, the adjudicator being Mr. Richard Southern. "Waxen Man" (Mary Reynolds), given by Totnes Evening Institute Drama Group, and Matrimonial," by Torbay Operatic and Dramatic Society, earned the adjudicator's praise. Cradle Song," by the Kingskerswell Drama Group, and the Holne Players' performance of Hugh Chesterman's "The Pie and the Tart" also received favourable comment. Mr. Cyril Maude thanked the adjudicator, and Mr. Lan Kelway (county organizer for music and drama) thanked those who had contributed to the festival's success. The organizer was Miss Edna Bayliss.

CHILDREN'S RHYMES. From Hugh Chesterman, as is to expected, come children's rhymes, full of fun for the kiddies and yet bearing subtle wit that will appeal to older folks. Most amusing are the Knights, the Gentlemen, and the Simpletons who parade for public inspection in u Proud Sir and Other Verses" (3s 6d), Basil Blackwell publication. Highly differentiated are all these characters, seven in each section. Apart from the knight who gives the book its title, there are Sir Tush, tho Indiscreet Knight, Sir Mungo Myngs, the timid knight, lean of limb and lily-livered, and Sir Beville Blevde, the audacious knight, who had slain a hundred knights of Aquitania eingle-handed, and whose blows landed so fast they could not be counted. Along with the "Gentlemen" are other familiars pirate, a troubadour, and a bowman, while the simpletons are of the nursery rhyme and country yokel type. Mr Chesterman is also- responsible for the quaint drawings with which the book is illustrated.

A SOLDIER'S THOUGHTS. BOLTS FROM THE BLUE. B T - I> Cameron Wilson. ells Gardner, Darton and Co: os. This is a posthumous book. The author, who was staff captain thii 51st Infantry Brigade, was ki led on M.iich 1918, two days after he had ns-sed lus life bringing in a wounded man his own company. Tock Pip," he was called by his fellow-officers, Hugh Chesterman tells in introduction that prepares admirably for story which, he says, reveals the author's own outlook on life was written before the war, but human mituic has not changed, and the people whom Paul brought under his philosop ash in the terribly candid letters that he urote before going to the operating table are still with us. Paul did not intend the letters to be posted until was dead, hut they were posted accident, and operation was not required, he returned to find other points of view awaiting him. That is the climax of the story, but the leacing up to it is just as good. Paul hated conventional with a contemptuous hatred. ' 1 Watch for the divinity blackguard is typical of his attituds. The story how his solitude at the village was invaded is told with delightful humour. It a J that is more than good to read: it is one to go back to; and the publishers, who hitherto have been chiefly identified with long-established favourite publications young people, are to congratulated on giving this fine bit of work in so attractive a form.

These are complicated in their terms, and the decisions arising out of them are often so seemingly contradictory* that even the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer might well be puzzled to understand them. The joint authors of this book arc authorities on the Rent Acts, and the second and much enlarged edition now published gives ample evidence of the close and careful study which they have brought to bear on this very difficult subject. The work is thoroughly up to date, and, of course, includes the important Act of 1933; while copious references to decisions bearing on the various points form feature of it. and prove beyond doubt the amount of careful and painstaking research expended on its preparation. The work, clear, practical, ana concise, should prove of the utmost value not only to lawyers, but to all those who are likely to be confronted with difficult questions under the Acts.
